Keyless locking and alarm

Ok, IŽll try to make this as short as possible...

Last autumn I had GReddy turbokit installed... I have driven the car since an it works fine. Since december I had it in my garage with the battery disconnected and a lot of things removed. Now I have added 5 aftermarket gauges, a turbotimer, boostcontroller, wbo2 sensor, lightweight pulleys, hi flow cat.

NOW, when reconnecting the battery to start my car it wont start. I get ignition and the starter works.... but it doesnŽt fire. Kinda like a very bad battery, but I tried with starting cables as well...no luck.
AND when shutting all doors and try to lock the car (and turn on the alarm) neither works. Only the passenger side door locks.

Anyone got any clue on whats wrong?

Sounds like your battery is weak, and then you flooded. Once you charge your battery be prepared to un-flood the car.

YouŽre saying thereŽs one fuse for each door? Boot and driversside door works fine.. itŽs just the passenger door I have issues with

Try cleaning your battery terminals and clamps. Maybe some corrosion or oxidation built up on them over the winter that is causing excessive resistant and lower the voltage to the starter. And make sure the clamps are on tight.

Did you fully charge the battery as suggested by others? If not, fully charge the battery, make sure your trunk and hood are completely closed. Then try the remote.

I drive my car daily and have driven many many miles, so the battery is most definately charged.
